SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE is warm, cozy, & out today. I hope you love it! 💗

The story: A cranky baker's erroneous obituary brings the woman who got away back into his life--& now he needs to convince her to stay.
The heat level: steamy!
The baked goods: plentiful!

The illustrated cover of SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE by Olivia Dade (subtitle: "A Harlot's Bay Novel") is a warm peachy pink, with golden light coming from an overhead light fixture. The picture is set in a bakery, with racks of golden-brown pastries and loaves of broad. In the foreground, a pretty fat woman with long brown hair is sitting on a table, with a handsome fat man with ruddy hair and a beard standing between her legs. She has a hand tugging on his apron, and he has a hand on her thigh. They are nearly kissing and gazing at one another with desire and adoration.

I adore all of Olivia's characters, but something about Molly's arc and her wounds and misapprehensions was so relatable to me. this is a warm hug of a book, and it's perfect for soothing end of the year stresses.

Look, I was told I should have a hobby, & now I have 6:
1) diamond painting
2) browsing diamond paintings
3) buying diamond paintings
4) organizing diamond paintings
5) trying & failing to make room for all my diamond paintings
6) snickering at YouTube comments by ppl unaware of DP's alternate usage
A comment reading: "I got my sister into dp, and we talk about it all the time. It has really bonded us and are always sharing photos."

Maybe their life expectancy calculation is wrong and at some point I will do crafts/read books/use notebooks 14 hours a day, have they considered that???

I'm so delighted that this book is out in the world! Mindy is one of my favorite writers, bar none, and depicts complex relationships among women with such tenderness and care and rueful humor. Also, you know I love cinnamon roll heroes, and this story's offering is especially sweet. 😍

Currently picking up Zomromcom again (had wanted to read it in spooky season but life) and again am reminded that I like @oliviawrites.bsky.social's books because they let me have my wish fulfillment of being kinda messy, eating weird stuff and annoying someone hot until they fall in love with me.
